phone calls are super stressful aren't they. xD and I've also been trying to make sure to pop in and welcome new users. I would love seeing more people jumping over to welcome people. :] and i mean more than just the normal faces i see over there welcoming people cause i know a bunch do already.

hummy 06-12-2017 12:32 AM


yeppers, a few of us have done this all along

Roachi 06-12-2017 12:55 AM

Poet i think you're right we need a thread on how to welcome a new user. Cause i'll be honest all i see when i see new user is teen - and when i think of teen in this day and age i wanna slap some sense into them. They're like zombies lol. I was 17 when i joined gaia and in my early twenties (still stupid) when i joined menewsha. Now turning 32 this year, @@.

Shadami 06-12-2017 10:48 AM

*fidgets* i'm only 25 and been on here for 7 years. hehe.... I love menewsha. <3 i think its 7 anyways. days and months and years are a little blurry with toddler life.

I generally just "welcome to menewsha + respond to their first post intro. + offer help with any questions they might have"

The Wandering Poet 06-12-2017 05:26 PM

Shadami - pretty much what I do [yes]

Roachi 06-12-2017 09:50 PM

I've done that for so long though. Doesn't seem to keep many around.

hummy 06-18-2017 09:14 PM


I honestly think it is because mene is so slow
people feel awkward trying to find their niche
when it is busier it is easier to find a place to post

Roachi 06-18-2017 10:13 PM

Yeah that's it. Finding your comfy spot. I've left loads of avi sites for that reason... Just never finding where I fit in.

hummy 06-18-2017 10:16 PM


that's why I did not post in mene in the beginning
I tried, but was told to go back to gaia!

Roachi 06-19-2017 02:05 AM

OMG, who said that?? How rude!

hummy 06-19-2017 03:09 AM


I honestly don't remember it was one of my very first posts and I was asking if this site had a UFO game and if they did where was it located but I had my teal font centered using Comic Sans Ms font and I was offending people left and right by just my post which I'm using now because this is the one that was on my clipboard and everytime I do use it I think I should really change this before I post it but I like how it's aesthetically pleasing to my eye. I pretty much have broken myself of using Center because I used my cell phone a lot and it's difficult to see the stuff that's posted in the center so I do get that but I don't understand how I offend people with the font and coloring my text I've done it everywhere on every side of ever been in because I like the color

Roachi 06-19-2017 03:13 AM

The only place your posts offend me, is on your profile haha. Cause I can't see a thing! :P

hummy 06-19-2017 03:15 AM


Every time I try and fix it I just make something else darker

The Wandering Poet 06-19-2017 03:19 AM

Roachi - Utilize Control + A to see what you typed and seek and destroy typos [lol]

But yes hummy we used to be a very rude bunch of people... I remember those days there was a big attitude here... but the people were friendlier than other sites so I stayed despite rarely talking. Now we are a very welcoming community, but we still have that reputation we need to break.

I think simplifying the rules and making the site seem friendlier would remedy that.

Hummy - Perhaps you could talk to a staff about maybe finding which setting that would be. I haven't touched my profile in like 8 years.

hummy 06-19-2017 03:35 AM


I was actually just shocked because I thought wow great first impression right and so yeah I started working a lot and then I just didn't even come on here then I couldn't remember my password but jelly kept sending emails and every time I got an email from her I would try and then I forget and then I finally figured out what password would get me back in and Sato had a really great event thread and she made me feel incredibly welcome and I think it was whispering Invictus was really really friendly to me and telling me that I should win a prize for how active I was in the thread and Seito'san said there was no prize and send me some Goldie's it wasn't a lot but it was the fact that whisper was trying to make me feel welcome and part of the place that really just made me stay oh and Momo Chan was so funny
That is why I think we should send emails out to people on the frequent you know maybe quarterly when they haven't been around in a while because sometimes people just Forget About Us site I realized it would be a lot of work but maybe worth it

The Wandering Poet 06-19-2017 05:21 AM

An email whenever a new feature worth investigating comes up I'd say yeah.

This is a good idea. I know a few friends that just gapped it, a nudge to say hey are you still alive would be great lol

Ohh sorry my kiwi slang... I meant "Just up and left". lol

Shadami 06-19-2017 11:55 AM

Email and not just social media for the new features huh? Noted

Hummy I can't help you with profile coding not my strong suit. :3

Glad menewsha wasn't mean when I came around :o

The Wandering Poet 06-19-2017 05:16 PM

Roachi - You should make a place for all that slang. Slang is fun to read in various cultures.

Shadami - Yes, because users like me don't use any social media.

hummy 06-19-2017 05:53 PM


Yeah it's just that's what had me come back too mene several times one of jelliy's emails I can't remember the wording but it was something to the effect of hey remember us come back and see us sometime. And every time I got the email I did come over here and check out and see what was going on so it could really be helpful but like I said it would be pretty time consuming I would imagine and maybe that could be some pen pal tasks I'm sure any of us would be more than happy to help. And sadly that would not have any pinging of the wandering poet being involved [mrgreen]

What an awful experience you had. I don't ever remember it being that bad. Pretty sucky.

The Wandering Poet 06-19-2017 11:40 PM

I remember Mene being quite snobbish back then. People were very stuck up back then because menewsha was a "high class site" as they saw it.
We had strict rules, no trolls or spammers, and everything was micromanaged.

Roachi 06-20-2017 02:57 AM

Yeah I remember, I got 2 infractions for doing diddly squat. However I don't remember it being snobbish lol.
Jelly was the bestest!! <3

The Wandering Poet 06-20-2017 03:56 AM

I have no knowledge of ever getting an infraction. But I dunno how to tell.

Roachi 06-20-2017 10:22 AM

You'd know if you had one, It sits on your account at the bottom of your subscribed threads.
Mine are from 2008 & 2010. From mods who are long gone from the site. For not quoting, twice haha.
